Just a quick question for all you old hands out there - having read the bumpf that is on the Crowborough advert in unit, it says that it is open to anyone, inc CW/AIB/LH etc candidates...

If a humble AB did stick their name down to go along would they get as much out of it or would they get overlooked slightly with all that gold braid and pile of hooks kicking around?

I haven't been suckered into going for a couple of years, but if it's run as it used to be, you'll get sent round the stances as a team and leadership for each task cycles through the team, so everyone gets a go.

CLM is exceptionally valuable in particular with regard to OC and personnel being deployed. Perhaps you havent read the CLM strategic paper. The RN & RNR have accepted the importance of CLM.
Shooting is very valuable , and rightly so has a lot of emphasis. Crowborough offers an opportunity for no blame decision making and leadership training, and is held once a year, Shooting weekends are held more frequently.
